They have to say that because of the study design

Yes, because the study design does not prove causation.

Of course it doesn’t. But there is a point where you have to apply logic to the “correlation isn’t causation” rule. Does violence cause the weather to be warm? Is it just a random correlation? No, neither of those statements are true. Now prove it to me with a study that has an experimental design where you can manipulate weather as a variable.
